Introducing Forward Search: A Website- and Enterprise Search platform

October 25. 2013 Torleik Ravn

Forward Search adds increased findability to your content. This is what we mean by our motto “Value Though Discovery”: Content is king, but only if you can find it. Use Forward Search to add value to your site by making the content more accessible, easier to find and with more precision in the relevance of each document.

Forward Search provides the platform for creating solutions to allow visitors to intuitively search and navigate through huge amounts of web content, documents and media files, ultimately finding precisely what they need, with the least effort.

The Forward Search architecture includes secure search across multiple sources and solutions, ensuring rights of content on user- or group level.

Forward Search scales to millions of documents and terabytes of data, in a single or several real-time updated indexes, with insignificant search response time. Forward Search supports Load Balancing and Fail-over setups.

Intuitive Administration

Sitecore, EPiServer, Azure, and more.

Since Forward Search exposes its services through standard WebServices and http protocols, and delivers its results in XML and JSON formats, it can be used to provide search capability to practically any website content management application available.

Distribution Options

Forward Search is available for on premise installation or as a cloud-based platform. No matter the distribution of choice, organizations take full advantage of all capabilities Forward Search delivers.

Run Forward Search on one shared- or many dedicated servers with high availability and load balancing. Often solutions can co-exist on the CMS installation, with no extra costs for server or hosting services.
